Exactly a week ago, I was blessed to take part in Sol y Luna Retreat and offer a pelvic steaming ceremony. Passages of Time was a way to sit in reflection of and honor each stage of life that we navigate as folks who have or had a uterus. About 50 women/two-Spirit showed up for my offering with all their courage, curiosity and vulnerability. I shared about the long held, universal tradition of using plants (Earth), water, and heat (Fire) to create medicinal steam (Air) for the womb and belly. I cried when I asked if this was a first for anyone, and most of those gathered raised a hand. What a gift to share in such a gorgeous setting!
We acknowledged the adventurous spirit of the Maiden/Explorer, the heartfelt drive of the Mother/Creatrix, the raw power of the Empress/Witch and the legacy of the Crone/Wise Woman. People gathered around the altars of their own life stage to spill open their heart stories, find connection, and allow the herbs to choose them. Then, they all got to steam in nature!
I couldn't have done this without so much help and support. Thank you Roberta, Antzin, and Andrea for being my water bearers. This literally wouldn't have worked without you! Thank you to Denai for the copal and keeping the space energetically clear. Thank you to Amparo for your wisdom and sweet energy. Thank you to Yvonne for trusting me. And, a huge thanks to the folx that I harvested plants from Rhythm Seed Farm and Merry coatl
My offering was just one part of the goodness experienced over several days. The whole retreat was pure magic ✨ 💚✨
